I took my partner and his 80 year old mom, in her wheelchair, for a week. Highly recommended if you're looking for an alternative to generic accommodations. The rooms were spacious, food was great, pool was soothing, the cleanliness and friendly staff were top notch. When we were there, we met cool people of all ages from all over the...

Very hospitable and accommodating! The staff are an amazing little family! If you are looking for beach holiday, this is it. Rough and real, sand beneath your feet and in your hair! Insects Monkeys and Birds! Meet the Locals <3 Cold coconuts on the beach! We cannot wait to return!

First, this is not a hotel. Rather a dozen of huts with a pool and restaurant.
It could be such a nice place but unfortunately nobody really looks after it. The grass is uncut, the reception&restaurant area is dusty, the swimming pool area really needs some refurbishment.
The main problem are insects - cockroaches, ants, spiders etc. They are everywhere....

Unfortunately guest, let's call him Tim, doesn't explain why he thinks our hotel isn't an hotel. We speak 4 languages, offer all services of a good hotel and even more: pool with a separate one for small children, restaurant (local and international cuisine), reading and game area, free WiFi, laundry, free inside parking, night watch, airport transfer, guided excursions, taxi...

The Jaua beach is realy beatifull.In one direction crowded in the other untouched.
A quiet place away from the big city stress.
The food is good and they try to fulfil special wishes.
The huts are spacious and they all have a little terrace.
good value for money.

I have no words to describe it. I was going to stay for a week. I got there at night and I left early next morning – It was impossible to stay there. Could not be worse. What a nightmare! It can not be called a Hotel. A LOT OF bugs – mosquitos, roachs, spiders – you name it.

I think that review very strange. Paulo stayed at the hotel in December 2009 but published it only in October 2010. Until today he posted only this one review on Tripadvisor. We couldn't find in our records a reservation for a week from a couple of São Paulo for December 2009 and no stay too. Nobody of our staff recognized...

Official Description (provided by the hotel)

Hotel Lagoa e Mar is situated just 350 meters (3 min. walking) from beautiful Jaua with its miles long sandy beaches. It offers year round an open air swimming pool (+ a separate for small children) among gardens, free WiFi, free internal parking and a tour desk that arranges various excursions, car rental and water activities (with lessons). Bungalows comprise a bedroom with king-size bed, fan, TV and clothes cupboard; a private bath with hot shower. The living room is equipped with 2 sofa beds, radio, minibar and a dining table with 2 chairs. Relax in the hammock at the veranda with garden look, table and 2 chairs. 4 bungalows are suitable for wheelchair users. The daily breakfast buffet presents you a variety of fresh fruits, juices, breads, meats and Bahian specialities. Enjoy regional, international and vegetarian dishes, as well as a selection of drinks in the hotel’s restaurant with its 3 open lateral sides. Room service is available too. In the small library you'll find (and can exchange) books in different languages. Jaua belongs to the Municipio (county) of Camaçari, city with an industrial complex (Polo Industrial), mainly consisting of the auto-mobile plant of Ford Motors and its suppliers (e.g. Bridgestone Firestone, Continental), and a petrochemical pool (Polo Petroquímico). Ford and Bridgestone Firestone/Continental are about 25 km distant from the hotel, easy to reach by car in about 30 minutes via paved roads (depends on traffic). No car toll from/to Jaua. The hotel provides transportation to these and other places even at night. You need to relax from strenuous work or tiring negotiations? - You'll find at our hotel and the beaches of Jaua your perfect location cosy and placid. Don't miss Salvador's Historic Town Centre (Pelourinho/World Cultural Heritage), only 40 km distant from the hotel, while Salvador's international airport is 17 km away. Don't miss the sea turtle stations in Arembepe (with its once famous hippie village) and Praia do Forte....more less
